The ruling on one who goes to Makkah in Ramadan and leaves his children without care

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says to me: A relative of mine leaves his children, Honorable Shaykh, during the last ten days of Ramadan, and goes to Makkah, leaving the children without responsibility, Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
If there is someone among his children who can look after them and care for them, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he leaves them to run wild and be neglected, it is not permissible for him to do so, as that would be a betrayal of his trust and his children. It is obligatory for him to protect them and go perform the recommended practice, which is 'Umrah. Yes.
